Nancy's most recent Facebook post seems to have been made on January 27, just four days prior to her being reported missing, Parade reported. On that date, Nancy shared a Reel from Instagram featuring Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American intensive care nurse who was shot and killed by federal agents during an anti-ICE protest in Minnesota.
